Van Persie: No rift with Wenger

Robin van Persie insists there is "no problem" or "conflict" at Arsenal despite his reaction to Arsene Wenger's substitution of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain during the 2-1 defeat by Manchester United on Sunday.

Wenger's relationship with Gunners supporters reached an all-time low at the weekend when they railed against his substitution of Oxlade-Chamberlain for Andrey Arshavin. Captain Van Persie also appeared to react to Wenger's decision with the word "no".

However, the Holland striker has clarified the situation and also revealed the teenager had picked up a calf injury, telling The Sun: "I was not having a go at the boss on Sunday - I was just sad to see Alex leave the pitch as he just gave the assist for our only goal."
